Device specific power consumption information leads to a high potential for energy savings. Smart meters are currently deployed in several countries, but they are only able to track the overall consumption in domestic and commercial buildings. One promising option to gain device specific information is called Nonintrusive Load Monitoring (NILM), which can be of great use in combination with sma...

In this paper, the electrical consumption of a Research Center Building is derived of the bills, Then with defining of fuzzy Bus Thermal Coefficient objective function for heating, the amount of available heat selling to Research Center Building consumer that is produced by Biomass Solar Hybrid Source is calculated. With the capacity determination of Biomass Solar Hybrid Source to provide Therm...

A variety of energy management systems are currently available for domestic domain, and many are concerned with real-time energy consumption monitoring and display of statistical and real time data of energy consumption. Although these systems play a crucial role in providing a detailed picture of energy consumption in home environment and contribute to influencing energy consumption behavior, ...

When it comes to conserving electricity, it is crucial for users to know how much energy is consumed by individual appliances. However, the technical feedback provided by existing energy consumption feedback systems in the form of dry numbers and intangible units is not appropriate for most users. To address this shortcoming we developed PowerPedia, a system that provides behavior-influencing f...

The purpose of this paper is to acquire the remote electrical parameters like Voltage, Current and Apparent Power and send these real time values over GSM network using GSM Modem. This facilitates the remote monitoring of these parameters without any geographical constraints, since a GSM module is used. Real time power monitoring system relate generally to the field of electric energy consumpti...

in italy, several policy measures have been implemented in order to increase energy efficiencyand reduce carbon emissions especially concerning the household sector. however, in order to design andimplement these policy measures efficiently, it is necessary to get a better understanding of the factorsinfluencing household energy behavior. in this paper, by using disaggregated data from the 2009...

This paper describes an innovative Energy Consumption Management System (ECMS) that is aimed at rationalizing the end use of the electrical energy in tunnel lighting. It is based on agent technologies and Power Line Communications to achieve lowest consumption lighting conditions in an optimal way. Depending on the type of application, the system would lead also to reduced installation and runn...

Energy consumption in buildings accounts for about 40% of total energy consumption [1]. The residential sector alone has seen a rise in electricity consumption by 54% since 1991 [2]. To a large extend, this increase can be traced back to the growing number of electrical appliances. While most large appliances (e.g., dishwashers, washing machines, etc.) have become more efficient over the years,...
